Anna Karenina (1935)
Reginald Denny: Yashvin
Quotes
-
Yashvin : I've been up all night. I need a pick-me-up. Varyshnikov, some brandy, seltzer water, and lemon. Some salted cucumber and a small bottle of champagne.
-
Vronsky : As a matter of fact, I've been analyzing this code of ours, lately, and it doesn't stand up. For instance, one must always pay a card sharper; but, need not pay a tailor.
Yashvin : Quite right.
Vronsky : One must never tell a lie to a man; but, one may to a woman.
Yashvin : Naturally.
Vronsky : One must never cheat anyone; but, one may a husband.
Yashvin : Inevitably.
Vronsky : One must never pardon an insult; but, may freely give one.
Yashvin : Obviously.
Vronsky : Well, it's trivial! It's nonsensical!
Yashvin : My dear Vronsky, has your liver been bothering you lately?
-
Yashvin : Nothing like it. Brandy settles your stomach. And the cucumber and champagne sets you up. Makes you feel as fit as a Cossack.
-
Yashvin : I'm not going to beat around the bush.
